Jackson leaders seek ways to address homeless population
SUMMARY: Jackson, Mississippi has seen a significant increase in its homeless population, particularly in Wards 3 and 5. This has led to a decline in property values, as well as concerns about safety and resource utilization from residents, business owners, and medical professionals. The Jackson Resource Center is working on constructing a new facility to address these issues, set to open in 2024. Additionally, City Councilmen Kenneth Stokes and Vernon Hartley are organizing a task force to raise awareness and find solutions for housing the homeless in Jackson.
